Bernstein is known for he and Bob Woodward’s reporting on the Watergate scandal for the Washington Post that brought down President Nixon. The two co-authored the bestselling book, “All the President’s Men” detailing their reporting.

His visits to IU have included engagements with students and faculty at the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and IU’s Cinemas, which hosted a showing of “All the President's Men” to celebrate Bernstein on the 50th anniversary of the book’s release.

And last week, Bernstein visited the Maurer School of Law, where he sat down with associate dean Steve Sanders to discuss the role of the news media and contextualize critical issues of law and democracy.

This week on a pre-recorded Noon Edition, you’ll hear from Bernstein's Q&A at the Maurer School of Law.
